I am trying to configure for XAMPP for web form builder . My XAMPP is located at localhost/xampp.

In the saving data window, in the MySQL section, what should my Server address be?

No matter what I try, I get the "Hold on" box and the Continue button is grayed out.

In the manual server setup, I selected the XAMPP folder, but that doesn't do it.

I'm working in Dreamweaver and don't really understand the server setup instructions, so please instruct accordingly.

Thank you!

I would suggest that you go to the XAMPP or Dreamweaver forums. You do not need XAMPP to view the forms. They are HTML & CSS.

First you have to set up a site in dreamweaver.
In your XAMPP directory, there will be a subdirectory called htdocs or www.
You must then create a subdirecty there with your site name. Then COPY your site files to it.

Server address is http://localhost/sitename
This is set up as a "testing server" location

You only need to set up a testing server if you are using php
You don't need one for plain HTML files

There are html and php versions of the forms.

Yep there are Jim, but you don't need XAMPP to view the flash version it shows up in the HTML editor just fine on it's own so I would "hope" at the expense paid for Dreamweaver that it would do the same lol.

Yes but he is talking about the server setting for saving his submitted form data to a mysql database.

He will need Xampp if he wants to view the database even if he has the flash version of formbuilder.
